FAQs

What material are these T-nuts made from?

They are made from zinc-plated steel, offering good corrosion resistance.

What is the purpose of the four prongs?

The four prongs are designed to grip the wood securely and prevent the T-nut from rotating once installed.

What size screw should I use with these T-nuts?

These T-nuts are designed for use with 5mm screws or bolts.

Can these T-nuts be used in materials other than wood?

They are specifically designed for use in wood. Using them in other materials may not provide a secure or stable connection.

How do I ensure a strong installation?

Drill a precise pilot hole and use consistent pressure when driving the T-nut to ensure the prongs embed fully into the wood.

What does the 'AN 90' standard refer to?

AN 90 is a manufacturing standard that indicates a level of quality and design specification for these types of fasteners.

How many T-nuts are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 T-nuts.

Troubleshooting

T-nut spins during installation

Ensure the pilot hole is correctly sized. If the wood is too soft, it may not provide enough grip. Consider using a slightly larger pilot hole or a denser wood type.

Screw does not thread properly into the T-nut

Verify that the screw's thread size matches the T-nut's internal thread (5mm). Check for any debris inside the T-nut or damage to the screw threads.

T-nut prongs do not embed fully

The pilot hole may be too large. Reduce the pilot hole diameter slightly. Ensure you are using firm, even pressure when driving the T-nut.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to zinc plating.
  • The four prongs ensure a very stable and non-rotating connection.
  • Provides strong, reliable threaded inserts in wood.
  • Manufactured to the AN 90 standard for quality assurance.
  • Ideal for furniture assembly and woodworking projects.

Cons

  • Requires precise pre-drilling for proper installation.
  • Brown color may not suit all aesthetic preferences.
  • Limited to wood applications.
  • Specific size (5mm) means they are not universally applicable without matching hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate wood for your project.
  2. Drill a pilot hole sized precisely for the T-nut's barrel.
  3. Insert the T-nut into the hole, ensuring the prongs are positioned to grip the wood.
  4. Use a screw or bolt that matches the internal thread size (5mm) to drive the T-nut flush with the wood surface. The prongs will embed, securing the T-nut in place.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for use with wood materials.
  • Compatible with screws or bolts that have a 5mm thread.
  • Ensure the wood thickness is sufficient to accommodate the T-nut barrel.

Care:

  • While zinc-plated, prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals is not recommended.
  • Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
